The Stryker Files at Channel 101! And our NYTVF schedule!

Just a reminder about the New York Television Festival this week. Not only will Man-Man be screening, but so will our new action pilot "The Stryker Files" as part of Channel 101: NY.

Here's the schedule:

  • Wed, Sept. 23 at 7pm - "The Stryker Files" at Channel 101: NY It's free but there's a $3.50 fee to make a reservation. Might be worth it since it guarantees a seat.

The Channy Awards!

The first annual Channel 101 NY Channy Awards were held on Saturday! Jess Lane took home best actress, and though she has appeared in several 101 shows this year, we're sure it's due to her appearance in Scissor Cop 4.

Here are the videos shown at the ceremony. We made the "Fake Hair" feature, the "History of 101" with Mitch Magee, a segment for the "Channy Wizard" sequence, and appeared in Stephen Levinson's "Inspiration" video. Also, Scissor Cop Kids was shown. Good times were had by all!
